Scatological means a joke, a book, a film, or a mind is too full of human waste — toilets, dung, that whole messy side of the body — in a way many people find rude or childish. It is a cold, slightly academic word for a crude interest. A scatological joke is not just a bit naughty; it is about excrement. You meet it in reviews and in serious talk about books. It is not a children's classroom word; treat it as grown-up and potentially offensive.
糞便的;滿是排泄題材的(帶冒犯、低俗意味;不是中性的醫學詞)
組成From scatology (talk of, or an obsession with, waste) + -ical. The scat- piece here is from Greek for dung, not from jazz singing.
